Description

What if work-life balance is a myth, and the real secret is just... life?In this Foojay Podcast we're stepping away from pure code and diving into something equally important: how we live our lives as developers. Because let's be honest, being a great programmer isn't just about mastering Java or the latest framework. It's about managing your career, your health, your family, and finding purpose in all of it.Four incredible guests are all tackling different pieces of this puzzle. First up, Bruno Souza, the Brazilian Java Man, He is back to challenge our thinking about work-life balance and share his philosophy on taking control of your career. Then Patricia Lenten talks about the real challenges of hacking parenting while being an engineer, and how we can inspire the next generation of developers. Georgios Diamantopoulos brings the hard data on why sitting is literally killing us and what we can actually do about it. And finally, April Schuppel shares lessons from Apryse's journey through 15 acquisitions in five years—and why people, not AI, are still the most important part of building great products.00:00 Introduction of topic and guests01:20 Bruno Souzahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brjavaman/Grow your career podcast: https://foojay.io/today/foojay-podcast-72/Bruno's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@brjavamanWork-life balance doesn't exist, we only have life12:52 Patricia Lenten https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricialenten/Hacking your parentingTechnology is fun18:37 Georgios Diamantopouloshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiosd/Staying HealthyThe importance of getting out of your chairhttps://stateofhealth.tech/22:58 April Schuppelhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/aprilschuppel/Pull, Push, and Merge: Lessons from a Journey of Growth Through AcquisitionsThe people are the most crucial part to build a team, product, and company30:26 Outro
